My thoughts on some of the tracks (including my suggested ones):

Amaranthe – “Afterlife” (from “The Nexus”, 2013)

8/10. I love Amaranthe, and this song exemplifies everything you want from the band. Sharp guitars and massive drums are taken to different levels by trance keys. What really stands out is the triple-vocal approach. The combination of the female singing of Elize Ryd, the male singing of Jake E. Lundberg, and the screaming of Andreas Solveström are something you would never hear from another band. This cyclone of sound makes you want to turn into Sonic and beat up Dr. Eggman's robots through the wind and light.

Bullet For My Valentine – “Tears Don’t Fall” (from “The Poison”, 2005)

10/10. A definite highlight for a couple reasons. First off, my brother was listening to this song during the beginning of my heavier modern metal phase and it reminded me of "Riot" (from Temper Temper), NOT similarly, but made me think of that song I was watching its music video about a year prior. The other reason is the instrumentation; very good riffs and great lyrics like in previous songs. The bridge gets much faster and worth headbanging, then in comes the blazing solo. Best song by the band ever!

Trivium – “In Waves” (from “In Waves”, 2011)

12/10 (not exaggerating). My favorite one from this album and possibly of metalcore in general. It starts off with an Ascendancy-like metalcore breakdown with Matt Heafy repeatedly screaming the name of the song, then it leads to a melodic Crusade-like chorus. There's also a complicated solo in the middle, but other than that, the riffs are simple yet catchy. That's what I like! During my original epic power metal taste a few years ago, I found the music video for the song "In Waves" on TV, then about a year later, the friend I told you about in my first forum thread introduced me to a heavier modern side of metal starting with this band. For that, I owe him big-time!

Darkest Hour - “For The Soul Of The Savior” (from “The Mark Of The Judas”, 2000)

7/10. This song begins their first album in a vicious bang. The hardcore-like breakdown rules, but nothing worth a twist. I chose this one because it's one of their most popular songs from that era and an easy one for listeners to get interested in the band. I probably should've added the re-recorded version with the guitar solo by Kris Norris.

Converge – “My Great Devastator (from The Poacher Diaries” split album with Agoraphobic Nosebleed, 1999)

8/10. A great devastating math/metalcore hit. The big problem is, I'm not a fan of split albums because then one of my favorite bands get paired up with a different band, and that other band is either relatively unknown or a band that is known but I'm trying to avoid it. This other band fits the latter category, grindcore grinders Agoraphobic Nosebleed. I just wish Converge would release their own half of The Poacher Diaries as a separate EP with a less explicit album cover.

August Burns Red – “Defender” (from “Guardians”, 2020)

9/10. One of my favorite metalcore songs of this year! It has fantastic drumming charisma. When that song was released as the first single of the album, people found different stuff that might end up in the album, such as a couple brutal breakdowns in the second half of the song. That shows August Burns Red's wild side, I love it!

Betraying The Martyrs – “Take Me Back” (from “The Resilient”, 2017)

8/10. A killer song from the album where Betraying the Martyrs was moving their sound from symphonic deathcore to progressive metalcore. This has the brutality of ABR's "Defender", yet also has powerful clean vocals and epic orchestral background. Though their change of style compared to previous albums is a little overly drastic.

Attila – “Middle Fingers Up” (from “About That Life”, 2013)

7/10. Interesting song you chose there, Daniel! This marks the beginning of their rap-infused metalcore phase, which I don't mind as long as they know what they're doing with their rapping, unlike say, Machine Head's Catharsis. And with a song title like "Middle Fingers Up", you know there's gonna quite some rapping and swearing going on. Personally if I were to choose an Attila song, it would probably be "Payback".

Fear, & Loathing In Las Vegas – “Virtue & Vice” (from “PHASE 2”, 2014)

10/10. I'm no fan of the Japanese techno-style of metalcore, but I decided to check out this song because someone from the outside world shared with a song by this band, Fear, & Loathing In Las Vegas. And lemme tell you, this one is PERFECT!!! Excellent smooth techno-metalcore gold!! I gotta get more of that band!

As a recent atmospheric sludge fan, I can definitely have a blast with songs like this 10-minute epic:

As an extension, does MA really need any sub-genre that is just thematically diverse rather than musically? If so then why not go all-in and include cosmic (or space) black metal and satanic black metal?

"Satanic black metal" is a bit redundant because satanism is often an essential part of black metal, but I suppose "cosmic black metal" can be a thing if there are more well-known black metal bands with cosmic/space themes than just Arcturus and Darkspace.

Pagan black metal and Depressive black metal can both be valid subgenres. My question is, should Depressive black metal also be part of The Fallen clan, not just The North? It's kind of the second wave of black-doom with dark suicidal lyrics of death, depression and human suffering over the lo-fi high distortion and fast tremolo of black metal alongside the droning low distortion and slow timbres of doom metal. Then again, my examples of "depressive power metal" (earlier Sonata Arctica and recent Kamelot) are obviously not doomy at all...

How about depressive power metal or blackened funk metal?

If you wanna hear some power metal with depressive themes, I would suggest the earlier Sonata Arctica and the recent Kamelot. Not sure about “blackened funk metal”, but that would be an interesting as f*** mix.

I must admit that I like the fact that Metal Academy isn't too specific in it's genre selection. Do we really need to break a main genre like Doom, Death or Black metal into anything more than a handful of easily differentiated sub-genres? Surely any more specific genre indicators are better as part of a review.

Breaking down a main genre like Doom, Death or Black metal is a bit necessary because then it’s easier for people to listen to sub-genres they like from a main genre they generally avoid, like how I listen to death-doom and melodeath while avoiding the standard doom or death metal. But if you don’t feel up for the whole genre-splitting idea, that’s fine. I’m just pointing out my opinion...

Psychedelic black metal can be another valid metal genre. However, I don't know about "psych-doom", that can refer to either adding psychedelic fragments to gothic/doom metal (Tiamat's Wildhoney) or a nickname for stoner metal.

Genres should not be created based on a scene or a location, nor should they be created based on lyrical content. Genres should (in my opinion) categorise releases based on the music they contain, and nothing more. Should Goregrind be a genre or is it just Grindcore with a gore theme (I don't know, just putting it out there)? Should Enslaved and Borknagar albums be labelled as Viking Metal or are they just Black Metal albums with Viking themes?

There are definitely a couple Grindcore subgenres; Goregrind and Pornogrind, but I personally don't think those genre labels should be added here. They openly point out the lyrical content that is so gory and X-rated, and if people checking out the site who are sensitive to that kind of inappropriate sh*t see those labels, they would probably be outraged and prevent themselves and their kids from going here, and we would have much less new members in the future. Remember, I'm still living with my sometimes suspicious parents. Viking Metal is often a mix of Black Metal instrumentation with Viking themes, so some Enslaved and Borknagar albums can count as Viking Metal, I guess? But I agree that just because a band has Viking themes, doesn't mean they can be labeled Viking Metal. Death metal bands can have Viking themes, such as Amon Amarth and Unleashed, but since those are probably the only two prominent bands with that combination, "Viking Death Metal" wouldn't cut it as a subgenre.

Do we include NWOBHM as a subgenre? It will mean that releases from that movement have the potential to not come up in heavy metal searches &, despite the fact that the New Wave definitely has its own unique attributes & characteristics, it also covers such a diverse range of sounds from speed metal to traditional doom metal. I'd suggest omitting it.

Agreed, Daniel. NWOBHM is more a wave than a genre. Enough said...

I love it! With that new upcoming feature, it'll be easier for Metal Academy members to find specific subgenres they like in genres they would otherwise generally avoid, like if I wanna find releases with subgenres such as Death-Doom, Melodic Death Metal, etc. To be honest, I think of the term "Classic" more in terms of time, rather than genre, like the "classic" albums would be for releases that are in the earliest origin eras of their respective genres to which they helped popularize said genres. Y'know, their "Early Days", "1st Decade/Era", like in Clan Challenges (for example; https://metal.academy/lists/single/22, https://metal.academy/lists/single/28, https://metal.academy/lists/single/35, https://metal.academy/lists/single/41). And of course, the "Traditional" label was taken by Traditional Doom Metal. So the term I would prefer is..."Standard", as in "Standard Death Metal", "Standard Doom Metal", "Standard Black Metal", etc.

While I'm on the subject of doom metal sub-genres, would you consider Epic Doom Metal as valid? This isn't recognised by RYM, but I believe there are enough adherents and it is distinguishable sufficiently from other doom metal sub-genres to justify inclusion on MA.

Epic Doom Metal really is an actual doom metal subgenre. I'm guessing RYM didn't feel like using that subgenre because of the overuse of the term "Epic" to describe other genres for some bands in websites such as the Metal Archives (for example; "Bal-Sagoth = Symphonic/Epic Black Metal", "Battlelore = Epic Symphonic Metal", "Dethlehem = Epic Melodic Death Metal", "Ensiferum = Epic Folk Metal", "Manilla Road = Epic Heavy/Power Metal"). Yeah, overly adding the word "Epic" to genres for bands that are already epic enough can make that word a little less...epic. But if we are gonna add genre terms that are different from RYM such as "Standard", then why not? I'm fine with Epic Doom Metal being a valid genre here!

It's going to take me a while to get this up and running, and I may not be adding as many releases to the site as I normally do for a while (I'll prioritise requests, so keep them coming).

You'll still add requested releases, Ben? Sweet!! I made a couple band/album requests the other day (Prayer for Cleansing and the new Kamelot live album I Am the Empire – Live from the 013), but I still haven't seen them here yet so I'm not too sure if you saw my requests or not. Could you please add them as soon as you can? Thanks! Can't wait to see them here, along with the exciting upcoming Filterable Subgenres feature...

Some of you might know I'm a fan of bands like Converge and The Dillinger Escape Plan, which is why Daniel made the right choice of recommending me that Botch album. Also as much as I like this song "Conduit", have any of you noticed that the brief riff fiddling that appears a few times sounds exactly like that of the last part of My Dying Bride's "Vast Choirs"? Seriously, it does! I think I'm the only one who has noticed that because of my interest in both metalcore and death-doom.

Now that I think about it, you're probably right Daniel. I think I was a little shocked by this album being more intense than most albums from my favorite metalcore bands that the genre that came to my mind was grindcore. There are a couple songs that aren't grindcore at all for the most part, such as its ending track "Sin in My Heart". However, in case a few people here say otherwise, let's see what the Hall has to say...

Here's my short summary:

After the Burial is a great melodic/technical death/metalcore band with intense breakdowns. You know how in France, they refer to sun-rain as "the devil beating his wife and marrying his daughter"? Well...the devil is Meshuggah, the wife is Cynic, and the daughter is Maya (Veil of Maya). And a child was born as a blessing, After the Burial! Yeah, that seems like a somewhat wrong story, but I can't think of any other description to sum this up. I reviewed the remastered version with vocals by Anthony Notormaso, instead of the original vocalist Grant Luoma whom I guess people didn't like. I like the off-beat guitar weirdness by Justin Lowe, who was a real djent guitar hero. Despite the incredible precision of the drumming, it's actually programmed, even in the remastered version. Also, the sound might be a bit scratchy, but it gives a cold feeling that helps the album stay awesome. Rareform is fantastic!! Not only would Veil of Maya fans love this, but also Meshuggah fans. Besides all that djent, it has everything to expect from deathcore and metalcore; quick solos, searing melodies, and earth-quaking breakdowns. After the Burial is a band I would recommend to a lot of metalheads out there! RIP Justin Lowe

5/5

Some of you might know I'm a fan of bands like Veil of Maya (one of their songs below) and Within the Ruins, which is why I decided to review After the Burial's Rareform.

No problem, Daniel! I shall review that Gulch album, plus that After the Burial album Rareform because I'm a fan of a couple of those bands you mentioned:

Djent-fueled Minneapolis deathcore for fans of Veil Of Maya, Within The Ruins & Rings Of Saturn.

With many of my favorite metal albums from exactly 15 years ago (https://metal.academy/forum/23/thread/297), sometimes older, I kinda have the same reaction as Sonny, though that doesn't make me feel old as much as 15-years-old metalheads having more talent than I wish I could (hello, Alien Weaponry). Great feature, by the way, Ben!

Epic symphonic deathcore to delight fans of Septicflesh, Winds of Plague, and a bit of Jen Ledger from Skillet:

Thanks, Xephyr! You really allowed me to realize how low Machine Head can get, especially in their own awful Dropkick Murphys knockoff:

Catharsis, their 2018 album, was on another level of awful. If you wanna see how terrible Machine Head's style can really get if you think these lyrics are slanderous, test out that one to even out your rating curve. 

Challenge accepted, Xephyr! Bring it on, Catharsis!!

Part of the problem I had with Machine Head's The Blackening is the lyrics in a few songs here, like in this f***ing slanderous stinker:

Speaking of Metal Sucks, don't say that about my favorite music genre!

Hey hey! Look's who back for more DISing and DATing! Let's start off with two great sludge classics released in 2004. Which one has the greater edge? Choose one and explain the reason!

Here's my review summary:

I still really like modern progressive metal (but more into the extreme side now), and it has a good feeling that makes everyday stuff more fun like washing dishes (not that I ever like doing chores like that). Mastodon can be considered modern but there are some differences that set them apart from other bands. They put more heart into music than mind. It's interesting what insane drumming skills Brann Dailor has, unleashes a lot of his wild power-hunger, a little more than drummers like Dream Theater's Mike Portnoy. I still like odd time signatures, but sometimes you would have no idea when a time riff starts or ends, and if an entire album is plagued with stuff like that, it can be pretty confusing to listen. Many of the songs here are progressive sludge classics, telling the story of a certain killer whale (sperm whale, not orca), and most of the tracks are in radio-friendly lengths shorter than other albums in the genre, except for a 13-minute epic. No other progressive sludge release can match a glorious album like this....

2020 (first half): Trivium - What the Dead Men Say

2020 albums I'm looking forward to getting:

Avatar - Hunter Gatherer

The Ocean - Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic I Cenozoic

Amaranthe - Manifest

Draconian - Under a Godless Veil

I was thinking about what Tymell said about shuffling songs in albums, and I decided to shuffle songs in one of my recent favorite albums, Trivium's What the Dead Men Say! But it wasn't randomly shuffled, I just manually arranged the songs into a different order that would be more suitable for any first-time Trivium listeners who want to build up slowly from mild fun to wild chaos. My new order for this album is: 1, 2, 5, 3, 8, 6, 4, 9, 7, 10. Or to be more specific:

1. IX

2. What the Dead Men Say

3. Bleed Into Me

4. Catastrophist

5. Scattering the Ashes

6. The Defiant

7. Amongst the Shadows & the Stones

8. Bending the Arc to Fear

9. Sickness Unto You

10. The Ones We Leave Behind

See, while I made sure the order still follows The Perfect Metal Album Storm (intro/beginning track, middle track, ending track), all the other songs are rearranged in a way to more appropriately test the intensity of the album. The "IX" intro and the title track both tell you what to expect in this album. "Bleed Into Me", "Catastrophist", and "Scattering the Ashes" are the cleaner melodic trio; two slower clean songs (NOT ballads, I wouldn't put ballads in the beginning of a metal album) with a nicely heavier song in between, to test the mild side. Then "The Defiant" is a bridge between the two sides to both recap the journey so far and hint at the next part. Up next, "Amongst the Shadows & the Stones", "Bending the Arc to Fear", and "Sickness Unto You" are the heavier aggressive trio; two heavy chaotic songs with the darkest of them all in between to test the wild side. That kitchen is open for those who can stand the heat! On top of that, those three songs sound quite similar to one another; same tempo, same tuning (6-string drop D-flat), and tons of progressive aggression. They can be connected together to make a 3-part 16-and-a-half-minute suite! Anyway, "The Ones We Leave Behind" is the epic final song that recaps the whole journey and congratulates you for passing that test.

I would try the same thing with other albums in a different thread called "The Perfect Metal Album Storm II: The Shuffling", but it would take too long and it might bore some members, so this is what I got. If you have any specific order for an album that is differently arranged from its original order, please discuss!

A monstrous modern groove metal epic for metalheads like me who wanted something better than The Blackening:
